Alright, what the heck is this thing.
Looks like I have a new obsession.
It seems I'll be busy for the next week researching this freggin thing!
Thanx markus😡
Well, I'm on my iPad for hours a day on my couch, and in my bed before I go to sleep.
I'm sure Ralph was speaking of mobile devices as a source. He wasn't speaking of strictly pairing them with the jambox or the sound matters device.
How portable is the Smyth realizer?

Thanks Dan, I've already went through the users manual.
I could imagine setting up this system with a barrier.
That way you could have a crossfeed enhancement without the actual crossfeed!
Little expensive.
And I don't understand why it comes with the stax headphones and amp.
They could shave at least 500 of the price without them.

It's (technically) possible to eliminate crosstalk completely by "deleting it" from the PRIR.
That's awesome!
Well, this sounds like a great solution.
Why has none of the big names bought a license for the rights to use this?
I wonder what Ralph thinks about this.
Ralph?
RALPH!?

Actually, I've always thought about diy'ing a headphone with a focused line array of 1/4 inch drivers right to the front of the headphone ( basically touching the cheek bone ) and say a 1" driver aiming directly into the ear canal. Crossed at around 80 hz.
But every time I look into it, it's a dead end road 🙁
I can't find headphone drivers 😡
I know that sennheiser and ultsasone angle their drivers,( and I've had both )
They are angled for a 90 degree soundstage. The image is bigger, but still in the head.
The drivers have to be right on the cheek bone, so they have to be really small. A line array would be the only way to reproduce a reference amplitude.

melo theory, please continue on your project. You will not have bass, but hanging some 2" speakers out by your eyes so ear ear hears only its speaker is an option I've wanted to try.

Oh, yeah....I've tried that. But the sound leaks to the opposite ear....
I'm talking about doing this with some closed cans.
Maybe I could use some cheap iPod style earbuds and set them up in a focused array, 4 for each side and wire them in series-parallel. Then DIY a closed can around them.
There won't be much bass because they are further away from the ear so they must be supplemented by a 1 incher firing straight in the ear....low passed of course.
Thank you for this ! (I underlined)
Any references please ! I'm most interested !

all very true, conventional stereo is not based on any science
it is just a trick
Mr Glasgal,
would such a speaker be suitable as an ambiopole with an ambio DSP?
sidefiring midbasses are 13 cm, crossover frequency to the monophonic tweeter is about 2.5 kHz

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Hey Norman, check this thing out!
There may be a market for personal ambiophonics after all! 😀

my buddy tried something like this. Problem is when you have a bouncy camera (not on a tripod or rails), because that is all your eyes see, think blair witch project. Your ear says "hey, I'm not moving" while your eyes say "yes I am." It makes you dizzy or nautious.

What did he try? You mean wearing an hmd? Or hanging 2 inch speakers from the display.
Expand more on this please.
I noticed the link for the free DSP for PCs is dead now. Here's a working link:
Weldroid! [ambient, idm, hardcore, electronic, audio, mp3, music]: Ambiophonics Processor VST: ambio.one
I'm not sure why the author stopped publishing this; it was by far the best one of the half dozen that I tried. (Some sounded good but didn't work with playlists; others sounded terrible. This one does the job, is free, and sounds as good as any I've heard.)
